Gravy
You will forgive me for not reporting the rejections I receive, because that is also happening during all of this, but the close of this crazy week brings my third offer of publication from a lit mag., which officially puts me in “beyond my goals” territory. The story is “The Staring Man” and it will [...]
Good news, everyone!
Just learned that one of my short scripts, A Point of Honor, made the semi-finalist cut at a 10-minute playwriting contest at a regional theater in the Twin Cities area. Top 40 out of 350+. The top 20 cut happens mid-March, until then, I’ll be having a one-man dance party up in here. I know, [...]
Little by Little
So yes, now that we’ve spruced up a few things around here (not exactly .com version 3.0, maybe like a version 2.1), I’ve made another effort to migrate over some of my movie review archive. There are still well over 200 from the old blog that I haven’t posted here, but because I’m me, I [...]
In Which I Put My Staggering Web Fame to Entrepreneurial Use
My good friends Matt & Chrissie have put a hell of a lot of time and sweat equity into this web series project, and now, as a wise man once said, sh*t’s gettin’ real. They’re collecting funding pledges here at kickstarter.com. No money changes hands unless they reach their goal. A lot of what I [...]
Well, that wasn’t so painful
And, after a few hours and only fifteen coding equivalents of bruised shins, we’re here. A swapped out theme, new banner header, new self-portrait, and some scooted-around menus. All hail the new flesh.
Like it isn’t normally ugly around here
Doing some tinkering around these parts. Things may look goofy.
Coming Soon, to an external hard drive I will need to purchase
Back in high school and college I made joke movies – parodies for class projects. If you want to go all the way back, I did my first at age 12. This was as low-tech as it gets – usually a consumer-grade camcorder from the late 80′s or early 90′s and a couple of VCRs [...]
The tradition lives
I am Chicago-bound today. Provided the planes, trains, and automobiles cooperate, tonight I will be seeing Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at Steppenwolf. After much debate and some tinkering, I have elected not to pack the new iPad for the trip. Since I was already bringing the laptop, the Kindle, the iPod, and the smartphone, [...]
Monday just got drastically better
Good News, Everyone! [/Farnsworth] I just learned that the on-line lit quarterly Blood Lotus will be publishing a short story of mine in their next issue. I’ll be sure to share more details as the publication date approaches. The readers of my personal blog know a little more context, but suffice it to say it [...]
Like you hadn’t noticed
So, I’m really on hiatus with the movie reviews again. While I’m seeing less movies than I prefer, I am still seeing them, and easily have a dozen I could write up. But I’m too far behind for my old every-new-movie-I-see standard, and when it comes to just writing up ones about which I am [...]
